In golf, every successful shot begins with a good setup . At SIM|Golf, every simulator project begins with the Preliminary Step . This is the moment when we "set up to play" – gathering key information to find the perfect solution for your space, needs, and playing style. This step helps you avoid costly mistakes, provides a ready-made plan of action, and understands how to integrate all the elements into an effective and impressive whole.

Why start with the Preliminary Step ?

In golf, setup is the foundation of a perfect swing – proper stance, body and ball alignment relative to the target, and mental preparation. Without it, even the best technique can fail. The Preliminary Step is nothing more. This is the initial stage, during which we thoroughly analyze the conditions: from the room dimensions, through the layout and construction, to the user's expectations. It determines the success of the entire investment.

Space check

We'll measure and thoroughly analyze your space, and together we'll figure out how to use it – there are plenty of solutions, as professionals will share their knowledge and experience with you. Even a room that seems "too narrow" or "too low" can be transformed into a home simulator.  Slopes, recesses, windows and lowered ceilings are also elements that we can use cleverly.

Equipment selection

You don't need to know that a projector should be tailored to the screen size, room brightness, and gameplay style – that's our role. Sometimes a 4K model is the best choice, other times a 5,000-lumen projector will be perfectly sufficient. Proper placement is also crucial, ideally so that players don't obstruct the image. We'll determine the optimal height and mounting distance for the projector, radar, lighting, soffit, and buffler so that all elements work harmoniously together. We'll also advise on how many computer screens to install, which cameras and where to place them for the best results, and the type and size of impact mat to ensure wrist safety. We'll also advise on the exact location of the tee.

What about lighting? Some systems, such as the Trackman iO, don't require it at all, but in many cases, it's crucial for a comfortable game. We'll select lights to provide optimal conditions for both right- and left-handed players, and if necessary, we'll integrate them with the sound system, even suggesting its best placement. And if you dream of combining a golf simulator with a home theater, that's also possible. Together, we'll find a solution that allows you to combine both functions without major compromises.

Garage or attic?

Whether you're planning a simulator in your garage, attic, or other room, we'll find the perfect solution for your space – from mobile systems like the BFS UP&DOWN, which will transform your garage into a training room in seconds, to permanent, professional installations. We'll also prepare various budget options – from simple configurations to advanced systems – and explain how mounting type, finish, and installation location, among other factors, affect the price.

The Preliminary Step provides you with a solid foundation for action, whether you choose to pursue the project with us or on your own. And if you choose SIM GOLF, the cost of the Preliminary Step will be deducted from your order value.

What does the Preliminary Step include?

• Detailed analysis of the space
• Selecting the type and dimensions of the screen
• Choosing a mounting system
• Selecting a projector and its location
• Lighting and sound plan
• Impact Mat and Fairway Liner Recommendations
• Suggestions for additional features (e.g. cinema, mobile solutions)
• Simple visualizations
• Preliminary cost estimate

The Preliminary Step isn't just the first step on the path to your own golf simulator—it's the foundation that will determine its quality, functionality, and ease of use. It will allow us to better communicate with you, avoid mistakes, optimize your budget, and create a space that will operate flawlessly for years to come.
